BOBBIN OR SPOOL WINDING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,017, dated May 2,1905.

Application filed April 12, 1902. Serial No. 102,679.

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OSHUA GARsED, a citizen of the United States,residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certainImprovements in Bobbin or Spool Winding Machines, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates to certain improve ments in machines for windingyarn upon straight or conical tubes.

The object of my invention is to so construct such a machine that yarncan be wound simultaneously upon two or more tubes, either straight orconical, and in which yarn can be Wound upon a straight and a conicaltube at the same time.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of myimprovedmachine. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3is an end view looking in the direction of the arrow 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4is a sectional view on the line 4 4, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a view looking inthe direction of the arrow 5, Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a view of the mandrelwith a tube in position. Fig. 7 is a view of a conical bobbin, and Figs.8 and 9 are views of the machine arranged to wind four bobbins.

A is the frame of the machine, having two housings A, in which arebearings for the several shafts of the machine.

B is the driving shaft of the machine, mounted in suitable bearingsinthe housings A, and on this shaft are two pulleys I) b, one being faston the shaft and the other loose.

C is a shifter-rod having belt-shifting fingers c, and on this rod is aspring 0, bearing against a collar 0 on the rod to force the rod in onedirection.

C is a lever pivoted to one of the housings A and arranged to enter anotch in the rod, so as tohold it against the pressure of the spring.

Any suitable shifting mechanism may be provided without departing frommy invention.

The driving-shaft B is geared to the shaft D by gear-wheels b and (1.

(Shown clearly in Fig. 5.) The shaft D is mounted in bearings on thehousing A in a similar manner to the shaft B. On the shaft B, betweenthe housings, is a spiral cam B, and on the shaft D is a spiral cam D.These are preferably arranged with their axes in the same plane, so asto allow a block E to be shifted into engagement with either one or theother of the said cams, as shown in Fig. 4. The block E is mounted uponthe slide E, which travels in a uideway formed by plates a a, bolted tothe frame A. Said plates, whose edges are undercut, as shown in Fig. 4,extend longitudinally of the frame and permit motion of the slide E in aline substantially parallel with the lines of the cam-shafts B and D, itbeing noted that the guide so formed by the frame and said platessupports the slide independently of said cam-shafts. present instancethe slide has beveled sides, which underlap bevel-plates secured to theframe A.

Pivoted at e to the slide E is a lever F, having one arm f, whichengages the block E, and having another arm j" which travels in suitableways in the fixed frame G. Detachably secured to the center of thisframe is a bar g, held in place by confining-screws g, Figs. 2 and 4,and near each end of the fixed frame springs G extend across the ways.These springs are so placed as to provide cam surfaces for the purposeof shifting the lever F from one side of the bar 9 to the other, so asto throw the block E either into engagement with the spiral cam B or thespiral cam D. The bar g is made detachable, so that bars of differentlength can be secured to the fixed frame G when it is desired toaccommodate the movement to tubes of different lengths.

Extending from the slide E is an arm 0, the outer end of which issecured to a rod H, having its bearings in brackets a, projecting fromthe housings of the frame, and on this rod are the guide-arms h h, whichguide the thread onto the tubes, these arms being free to turn on saidrod H as an axis. It will be In the noticed that the body portion ofeach guidearm h is formed with alternate notches, as shown, so that thethread can be passed over .or under the several bars formed by the eterscan be substituted therefor.

On the shaft J is a cone-pulley J, and on i the shaft I is a cone-pulleyI reversed, as

end of the other.

clearly shown in Fi 1, so that the narrow end of one cone-pul ey isopposite the wide Extending around these pulleys is a driving belt L,which can be shifted to any point desired on the cone-pul leys by ashifting-arm L, through which the belt passes in the present instance.The upper end of this arm is mounted on the screwrod L secured to thehousings A by nuts Z Z. 1 The arm L can be shifted on the screw andsecured in its adjusted position by the nuts Z. The lower end of the armis recessed and travels 'on a rail g on the fixed frame G, Fig. 4.

The shaft J is mounted in adjustable bearings j, which can be movedtoward and from the shaft I by means of the adjustingscrews 7 3' Thus itwill be seen that the coarse adjustment can be made by changing thegears 76 and j, while the fine adjustment can be made by shifting thebelt L- on the cone-pulleys J I.

On each end of the shaft I is an eXpansible tubular structure I (shownin detail in Fig. 6,) which can be expanded by the screwlug 'i, so astov couple the tube or spool on w 'ch the material is wound to the shaftI.

The winding can be either of the form shown in Fig. 1, in which thebobbin is of an even diameter throughout, or as shown in Fig. 7, wherethe bobbin is in the form of a cone, thisv latter being formed in thesame manner as that ordinarily employed except that the tube or spool isin the form of a cone instead of being cylindrical.

The machine is so designed that a bobbin can be wound on one end of thetube-shaft having an even diameter, and a conical bobbin can be wound onthe other end of the shaft, in the latter case the yarn-guiding armsturning on their supporting-rods, so as to remain in contact with oradjacent to the surface of the bobbin to be wound.

The machine is simple in construction, can be substantially andaccurately made, and the parts can be readily adjusted for difierentlengths of bobbin or for different speeds, as desired. The particularwind shown in the drawings I lay no claim to, as this form of wind isold.

Figs. 8 and 9 are views showing a machine having two sets of shafts I Ito receive four tubes, so that the machine can wind four spools orbobbins at once. In this instance the intermediate shaft J 2 has adouble-cone pulley J and the tube-shafts each have a cone-pulley beltedto the double-cone pulley and independent belt-shifting mechanism may beused, so that one tube-shaft can wind a different number of yarn fromthe other tube-shaft. Guides it lead the yarn to the I several tubes, asshown. can be removed and others of different diam- I claim as myinvention 1. The combination 1n a windln -mach1ne,
